“I had the distinct pleasure of working with Rachel at Pep Boys. During this time, Rachel was critical to the organization as we navigated our way through significant upheaval. Rachel is a highly respected, committed executive who immediately embraced the responsibility of helping others through difficult transitions and new challenges. A consummate HR professional, Rachel adroitly balances the needs of the organization and the individual employee. As such, she was quickly recognized as the “go-to” person, by executives and line employees alike, for advice, guidance, and comfort. Rachel is faithful to her role as a “shepherd” of the culture. She sets the tone daily with her joy and energy. However, she is also firmly grounded and manages organizational realities with the necessary gravitas when required. She is a fearless communicator who is comfortable working with people at all levels of the organization. She is particularly adept at leading robust conversations; treating others with respect and dignity while maintaining her own composure and delivering tough messages. Rachel is continuously enhancing her expertise by participating in a variety of professional organizations and activities. She is action-oriented and is clearly comfortable with being a self-starter. She utilizes her knowledge, skills, and leverages the expertise of others to ensure the organization is staying abreast of the latest laws, statutes, and talent trends. If Rachel Monastra is leading the people initiatives at your company, you will sleep easy knowing you are in good hands.”
